xinit problem

I'm having trouble getting startx to read my .xinitrc or .xsession file. I downloaded gdm but then removed it with the --purge option, but still I can't get startx to read the init file. The way I have to start the window manager is startx /usr/bin/X11/fvwm & then manually change background and add

Printer drivers for HP DW-320

Is there a driver module for the HP DW 320? I see DJ all over the place but not the DW. If not is there a generic driver that would be most functional with this printer model? Thank you, Michael

Re: Debian inside VM can't find NIC

Thanks for your answers, guys. It was much appreciated. I've now got my NIC working & configured. One more question, though. I'm more used to the redhat way of handling Linux. You know, using linuxconf or netconf to configure things. Under Debian, are there any such utils, or do I edit config

backup ~/Mail/* with rsync without change atime ?

ciao, I backup my mailboxes ~/Mail/* (many files) with rsync. The problem is that (IIRC) mutt (as others mail-client) understand that there is new mail checking atime with mtime of the mail-file, and after the backup there is no "new mail in " message in mutt. tar has --atime-preserve, but I us
